Aortic intramural hematoma on TEE and CT

Representative transesophageal echocardiograms (panels A and B) and computed tomograms (panels C and D) of a section of the descending aorta in a patient with intramural hemorrhage. Panels A and C reveal a crescentic thickening of the aortic wall without any evidence of flow communication or intimal tear (arrows). Panels B and D show complete normalization at follow-up.
